Firefox update to 25 screwed up everything
Your update to Firefox 25 from 24 F***** Up Everything. Shit canned all my addons?? Can't even open emails?? Your support sucks too! I have 6 years in college in Computer Science, currently work as a Network Administrator for one of the Countries largest leading firms in the IT industry and I had to completely remove Mozilla, remove all registry entries, and reinstall it from scratch! You idiots at Mozilla ever think of asking if we want our stuff updated? Especially since most people don't need to update from X to version X.1 just to go to X.2 tomorrow! Get your shit together! Test your stuff before you release it! I have been a long supporter of Firefox but lately you guys are way out of control!

hello, please update your outdated plugins!
The plugins were updated 2 days ago! I love when people just run their mouth with no clue about what they are talking about! Not only did the update hose everything but once Firefox was shut down it would not start again! And guess what, wouldn't unistall from control panel either, before you talk about something else you don't have a clue about! The solution is to manually delete all Firefox files, manually delete them from the registry and reinstall from scratch! This time instead of checking " warn me about upgrade" try "DO NOT UPGRADE" because there was no warning up the upgrade or I would not have taken it!
How about another helpful suggestion like maybe check the oil in the car! Ha ha! If you don't have a clue don't just babble to be posted! In case you missed it I work for one of the leaders in the industry! Obviously you don't!
your plugins at time of writing the question...

the fact that tens of millions of users did update to firefox 25 without issues but only you're seeing this problem suggests the probability that there is a general fault in firefox 25 is rather slim and that the error is most likely to be found within your system environment instead. malware btw is one of the common causes of firefox not starting...
in case you just want to complain, a support forum is the wrong venue for this anyway, use firefox > help > send feedback instead!
Okay Phillip, Shockwave flash is NOT used on my email! Flash will also not affect the rest of the plugins, nor will it affect the fact that Firefox just would not start up. Funny IE 5 for christ sake worked fine, Google Chrome worked fine, just firefox failed after the update!!!! Can you prove 10 of millions of users udated fine because all I can find is a bunch of people with this problem, go ahead google it if you don't believe me! And by the way what to you do for a living? Work at a car wash! Like I said, don't babble just be posted and act like you know something! It's very annoying! The only reason I put up this post was to help others with the same problem and let them know that the automatic update does not always do its job, but I have a solution! It' s posted, so far all you have provided is negativity! Maybe some day when you get all grown up you will be able to provide something relative! Just because you don't like what is written doesn't mean you have to be childish. I know your one of those people who have an opinion on everything and doesn't know when to shut up!
I will also be blocking these notifications so I don't get any more of your helpful information. By the way if your car won't start maybe you should check the air in the tires. Low tire pressure leaves the tires vulnerable to damage!
well, let's leave the decision whose term it is to shut up to the moderators, shall we?

I am locking this thread for two reasons.
1. I don't see a support question, only rude rants about Mozilla, this forum, and rudeness toward a support Contributor.
2. For gross violation of Forum Rules & Guidelines.
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
Feel free to start a new question thread, when you get your attitude under control and can follow the rules and guidelines for this forum.
